Recycle your newspapers and waste paper

Our Abitibi Dumpster has a permanent location on our parking pad off of Reading Road near the main building. Please drop off your junk mail, newspapers, magazines, and cereal boxes. The CGC gets a small amount of money for the weight of the paper, but more importantly, we can make a difference in the amount of space NOT used in a landfill.

OKI wants to know

what you think!

The OKI Regional Council of Governments is updating a strategic policy plan in southwest Ohio, northern Kentucky, and southeast Indiana, and they want to hear from you about your opinons. OKI’s original policy plan aimed to improve quality of life and service to the public in the region. Much has changed since the plan was adopted in 2005. With this update, OKI is re-visiting some strategic issues and considering others for the first time, and is inviting public feedback through a brief questionnaire that takes about 5 minutes to complete.  The questionnaire can be found at www.howdowegrow.org and will be available until the end of the year.

 

We Dig the Civic Garden Center!

The Civic Garden Center is a non-profit horticultural resource that enriches lives through education, community beautification and environmental stewardship.

The Civic Garden Center is an oasis in the city - eight beautifully landscaped acres open daily to visitors at no charge and located 2.5 miles from downtown Cincinnati. Volunteers donate their time to maintain the grounds, and they and others provide financial support to the organization that was founded in 1942. Find out more about us...

Our cornerstone programs - Neighborhood Gardens touch 23 communities with over 47 active gardens. Compost Kids and Summer Sprouts programs introduce young people to gardening.

The Civic Garden Center provides education and information to individuals, schools, organizations and businesses through its Horticulture Helpline, library, classes, hands-on workshops, tours, special events and outreach programs.
Gardening is a great equalizer.

Demographic and cultural barriers are non existent because people digging, getting dirty and sharing nature's beauty look pretty much the same.
